Eighteen students awaken in the basement of a school none of them ever recall setting foot in. The halls are worn with age, and it appears there is no escape. The only thing these students have in common? They each excel in their respective career fields. They are commanded to kill one another by the headmaster, who only introduces themselves as Vega, and appears to the students as... a swan?
As bodies drop, and tensions rise, unlikely allies are made. Perhaps, even the sparks of love are kindled into a flame.
Follow Chika Itou, and perhaps another, as she narrates her journal entries chronicling her time in Andromeda Academy. Will she and her friends escape the academy alive, or will a Requiem be composed for their souls?
